The solution would be to run the process as root, rather than as vpopmail,
so that it can change to the UID :)

No, because even though these fields are *called* uid/gid, they are not
meant to store that. You should configure Dovecot to use vpopmail to
get the user information, rather than forming an SQL query yourself.
We run Dovecot on many of our installations without these problems.
